awesome-saas-boilerplates VS budibase

Amazing to see more options in the market! Consider adding your solution to: https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates .

I'm obviously biased, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I also probably know more about this space than ~anyone else. I'd say that your characterization is pretty accurate. There are many similar products to Pegasus (you can find a pretty comprehensive list here: https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates) but most of them are either more focused on infrastructure/setup (e.g. cookiecutter-django or - as you noted - far less mature/maintained (most of the others on that list).

Don’t worry about technology too much. Google for “SaaS boilerplate” and use one that suits your existing skills. Example: https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates

https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates collects such frameworks, it lists 4 for Rails.

I think what you're describing is an entire product category, often referred to as a "SaaS boilerplate" or a "SaaS Starter". There are a huge number of them, and you can find lists of them on github as well as places like starter.place.

https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates There are also some golang based

Skip team features until a customer (or somebody ready to pay) is asking for it. In our B2B SaaS we have Fortune 100 companies as customers and even they are so far fine with individual accounts. We implemented two-factor-auth after customer requests but it's shocking how few of our users actually switch it on, definitely not relevant to grow or get more sales.

Start with a framework that includes authentication. It will save weeks of work. https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates

Good luck for your MVP/launch.

Budibase is great at generating CRUD apps based on a model.

Congratulations to the Airplane team.

Is this Airtable moving in the direction of low-code rather than no code? Puts them up against tools like Budibase [https://github.com/Budibase/budibase] and Retool [Https://retool.com]

I skipped to chapter 9 in the article ("Clogged"), and it looked like Pipes failed because it didn't have a large enough team or a well-defined mission. As a result they couldn't offer a super robust product that would lure in enterprise users. "You could not purchase some number of guaranteed-to-work Pipes calls per month" is the quote from the article.

The reason I think that interesting is because that's the model these days for everything from AI tokens to Monday.com seats. It makes me feel like Pipes was before its time.

That said I've been collecting different "business glue" products that are similar to Pipes. To me, like you say, they aren't as interesting, exciting and intuitive as Pipes was, but maybe it just takes a little more digging. I tried to focus on open source tools but some aren't.
